Magic's Goga Bitadze: Sees just two minutes
Bitadze posted no counting stats over two minutes during Tuesday's 120-89 loss to the Celtics in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Bitadze saw just a total of 11 minutes in this series, as the Magic relied mostly on Wendell Carter at center. He saw some decent playing time in the regular season, however, posting averages of 7.2 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.4 blocks and 0.7 steals in 20.4 minutes while shooting 61.1 percent from the field. Bitadze is under contract for two more years and is likely to open the 2025-26 season as Carter's backup.

Magic's Jett Howard: Scores six points in Game 5
Howard finished with six points (2-2 FG, 2-2 3Pt) over four minutes during Tuesday's 120-89 loss to the Celtics in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Howard saw his only minutes of the series Tuesday in garbage time. He was used sparingly in the regular season as well, averaging 11.7 minutes across 60 appearances with 4.5 points and 1.2 rebounds on 37.4 percent shooting. He'll be entering his third NBA season in 2025-26, though it's hard to imagine he'll be in the rotation on Opening Night.

Magic's Tristan da Silva: Sees four minutes
Da Silva ended Tuesday's 120-89 loss to Boston in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist across four minutes.
Da Silva played a total of five minutes in the postseason, but did see some decent run in the regular season, mainly when Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner had their injuries. The rookie made a total of 74 appearances, averaging 7.2 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.1 three-pointers on 41.2 percent shooting from the field and 33.5 percent from beyond the arc.

Magic's Caleb Houstan: Scoreless in seven minutes
Houstan chipped in zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt) over seven minutes during Tuesday's 120-89 loss to the Celtics in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Houstan saw a very minimal role in the postseason and didn't make much noise at all, shooting 14.3 percent from the field. As for the regular season, Houstan made 58 appearances and struggled to break through in the rotation, averaging 4.1 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.1 three-pointers on 42.1 percent shooting in 13.6 minutes.

Magic's Jonathan Isaac: Sees 14 minutes in loss
Isaac supplied five points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound and one assist over 14 minutes during Tuesday's 120-89 loss to the Celtics in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
After seeing 15.4 minutes per game in the regular season, Isaac saw a reduced role in the playoffs with 13.8 minutes per night. The good news is that Isaac managed to stay mostly healthy this campaign, appearing in 71 regular-season contests with 5.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 0.6 assists, 1.1 blocks, 0.9 steals and 0.5 three-pointers. His per-minute production was excellent from a fantasy perspective, though he did shoot just 25.8 percent from beyond the arc. With a full offseason ahead, Isaac could make another positive step in 2025-26.

Magic's Gary Harris: Quiet in 15 minutes
Harris produced three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in 15 minutes during Tuesday's 120-89 loss to Boston in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Harris had a tough postseason, appearing in five games with 1.4 points on 37.5 percent shooting. His regular season didn't go much better, however. He appeared in just 48 games, hitting 38.3 percent of his shots with 3.0 points, 1.3 rebounds and 0.8 three-pointers in 14.8 minutes. The Magic hold a $7.5 million team option on the veteran for 2025-26.

Magic's Cole Anthony: Limited impact in 19 minutes
Anthony chipped in three points (1-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block across 19 minutes during Tuesday's 120-89 loss to the Celtics in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Orlando wasn't able to generate much offense from their backcourt trio of Anthony, Anthony Black and Cory Joseph -- all three combined for 11 points as Orlando was knocked out of the postseason. None of those players stepped up much in the absence of Jalen Suggs (knee), as they formed a timeshare at the point guard slot to limit the upside of each other. Anthony finished the regular season with 67 appearances and averages of 9.4 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.1 three-pointers on 42.4 percent shooting from the field.

Magic's Anthony Black: Nearly double-doubles
Black notched eight points (3-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds and one steal in 21 minutes during Tuesday's 120-89 loss to the Celtics in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Although he didn't shoot the ball well, Black was far more effective than a scoreless Cory Joseph. Black saw his role increase significantly in his second NBA season, but he had some struggles and couldn't take advantage of all the injuries in Orlando. He shot just 42.3 percent from the field and 31.8 percent from beyond the arc, averaging 9.4 points, 2.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.8 three-pointers in 24.2 minutes.

Magic's Kentavious Caldwell-Pope: Quiet in Game 5 loss
Caldwell-Pope logged eight points (3-9 FG, 2-7 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 30 minutes during Tuesday's 120-89 loss to the Celtics in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Caldwell-Pope had a miserable postseason against Boston's defense, shooting 26.7 percent from the field and 26.1 percent from beyond the arc. He was a useful role player in the regular season, however, appearing in 77 games with 8.7 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.5 three-pointers in 29.6 minutes while shooting 43.9 percent from the field. Caldwell-Pope will be back with Orlando and is owed $21.6 million in 2025-26, and he holds a player option for 2026-27.

Magic's Cory Joseph: Scoreless in Game 5
Joseph finished Tuesday's 120-89 loss to the Celtics in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with zero points (0-5 FG, 0-4 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals over 20 minutes.
Joseph had a brutal showing as the Magic were bounced out of the playoffs after a miserable third quarter in which the team was outscored 36-13. Due to Jalen Suggs' season-ending knee surgery, Joseph was pressed into a larger role down the stretch for Orlando. Overall, he appeared in 50 regular-season contests, averaging 3.5 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 12.2 minutes per game. Entering his age-34 season, the Magic hold a $3.4 million team option on the veteran.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Records double-double in defeat
Carter supplied 12 points (5-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and two steals over 34 minutes during Tuesday's 120-89 loss to the Celtics in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Although the Magic were bounced out of the playoffs in short order, Carter enjoyed success against a formidable Boston frontcourt, posting some of his best rebound totals of the season. Low shot volume resulted in only two double-doubles during the series, but he averaged 10.8 rebounds over the five-game set. Moritz Wagner's season-ending knee injury opened the door for Carter to emerge as a full-time starter, and he should begin next season with the first unit if he remains with the team.

Magic's Franz Wagner: Scores team-high 25 points in loss
Wagner finished with 25 points (10-22 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal in 40 minutes during Tuesday's 120-89 loss to the Celtics in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Although the Celtics halted Orlando's playoff run, Wagner put together an excellent series of performances. Over five games, Wagner averaged 25.8 points, 5.6 assists, 4.8 rebounds and 1.2 steals, capping his best season as a pro. Although an oblique injury forced him to miss several games in December and January, Wagner beat his previous seasonal averages with averages of 24.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.3 steals over 60 contests.

Magic's Paolo Banchero: Struggles with foul trouble in loss
Banchero ended Tuesday's 120-89 loss to the Celtics in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with 19 points (6-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-7 FT), nine rebounds and six assists in 30 minutes.
Banchero took a seat after drawing his fifth foul in the third quarter, and the Magic fell out of contention while he sat for the remainder of the stanza. The Magic were unable to recover from the third-quarter beatdown, and Banchero's numbers suffered as a result. The third-year pro appeared in only 46 games after solid attendance over his first two seasons, but he averaged career highs in points (25.9) and rebounds (7.5) despite the many absences.

Magic's Franz Wagner: Solid all-around performance
Wagner finished Sunday's 107-98 loss to Boston in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with 24 points (10-22 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds and seven assists in 40 minutes.
Wagner did what he could to help his team during Game 4, as he filled up the stat sheet while dishing out a game-high seven assists. However, it wasn't enough to get the best of the defending NBA champions on Sunday, with Orlando now facing a 3-1 deficit as the series shifts back to Boston for Game 5.

Magic's Cole Anthony: Goes scoreless in Game 4
Anthony closed Sunday's 107-98 loss to the Celtics in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with no counting stats over two minutes.
Anthony failed to make an impact Sunday against the defending NBA champions, as he saw the floor for a team-low two minutes. Throughout the first four games of this first-round series with Boston, Anthony has racked up just eight points, four rebounds and five assists across 31 minutes.

Magic's Kentavious Caldwell-Pope: Impactful defensive presence
Caldwell-Pope supplied eight points (2-4 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two steals over 32 minutes during Sunday's 107-98 loss to Boston in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Despite struggling in the scoring department during this first-round series, Caldwell-Pope can still get it done defensively, which he proved in Game 4. The veteran guard recorded a team-high two steals and two blocks Sunday. However, it wasn't enough to hold off Jayson Tatum and company, who went on to take a commanding 3-1 series lead with the series now heading back to Boston for Game 5.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Grabs team-high 11 boards
Carter ended Sunday's 107-98 loss to the Celtics in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with nine points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and one block over 36 minutes.
Carter made his presence felt in Game 4 by crashing the glass, leading his team in that category with 11. The veteran big man has recorded 11 or more rebounds in three of the last four games. The Duke product averaged 7.2 rebounds per game during the regular season, which is one of the lowest totals of his career.
